How to change automatic transmission fluid in 2014 Honda CR-V (Easy)

[@donaldlee6760]

At 2:51 - instead of driving a few miles and another transmission refill, I just do a transmission refill every 2nd or 3rd oil change. This makes it so there is always some fresh transmission fluid.

He said 3/4 in socket drive. He meant to say 3/8 in socket drive.

[@Powerstroke98]

Thanks for that, one less time getting down and back up again!

[@Powerstroke98]

Thank you very much! Was just quoted $200.00 from a Quick Lube place, to change it out, so I'll be doing it myself!

[@tennesseerepairguy2162]

Glad it helped

[@billybobbob3003]

@@tennesseerepairguy2162 what you mean repeat the process? drain it rill it with 2.7 quarts and drain all the new stuff then fill it back up with 2.7 quarts so you get rid of all the old shit in general?

[@bill2548]

I am truly disgusted with myself by paying for oil changes and transactions. It is so easy to do myself

[@frandanco6289]

@@billybobbob3003 He means exactly that... Drain, it refill it, run it awhile, and drain it again and refill it.. You are not getting all the fluid out from just draining the pan... Hence, the extra drain and refill to get more of the old fluid out..

[@jayleighawesomesauce8066]

You helped me out, I was always worried about messing with the trans fluid because I thought the system was pressurized and I was afraid to screw it up. This was easy, easier than changing the oil because no filter. I changed mine at 95k.

[@Fremen02]

Ok now I don't feel so bad waiting til 60k to change mine lol

[@engineermajidd]

@@Fremen02 Mine has 80k miles, i am gonna change it now

[@TrynaLearn-b3h]

Mines just passed 203,000. Never changed it once. Starting to stall on me, so you guys got me beat 😅

[@derrickfrancis4]

THATS CRAZY BECAUSE MINE IS AT 95K AND I WILL BE DOING THE SAME

[@emduplessis9996]

Is the crush washer a 20mm? My 2014 crv part list says it's a 14mm that fits. Which is it-18mm or 14mm for the 2014 CRV LX trim?

[@frandanco6289]

What about the little filter under the base of the air box??? Did you get that little canister out and replace it with a new one?? That tranny oil was awful!!!.. Amazing your tranny still works... What is the process for checking the fluid level on your vehicle?? Do you check it with the engine running in Park, or shut it off and check it while the fluid is still hot??? Which is it???

[@SocialObserver23]

If you have to drive a couple of miles and repeat surely that's a lot of fresh transmission fluid wasted? Have I understood that?

[@tennesseerepairguy2162]

Just following Hondas recommendation, when you drain your trans fluid you don’t drain what is in the torque converter. So running it will cycle the oils to mix and eventually get it all out

[@lynx5797]

Hello. The transmission filler cap came off my 2014 Crv. I’ve been trying to look for where it goes. Can you tell me where it goes?

[@jacksongil9123]

how often change transmission fluid 2014 honda crv awd

[@lenbata]

[@spritemoney]

Thanks for this

[@Fred-F4]

This is when the car is on level ground, be careful and double check if hsing jack stands

[@ZDriver1996]

How many miles were it when you drained that fluid? Can you post of the recommended transmission fluid change schedule in the Description?

[@davidc8683]

Best to do it every 30k to keep it clean.

[@starkeymorgan4142]

Honda says 30 to 90 thousand. Depending on driving conditions. Some do it every other oil change...some start at thirty. For me, I will likely try to for a balance...50 or 60. Your discretion.

[@ZDriver1996]

@@starkeymorgan4142 yeah checked it . Has 30k just now 3 years old on this ATF. Still mostly burgundy in color with slight darkness in it. I’ll probably change at about 40k.

[@ZDriver1996]

Follow up .. After 32,000 miles I've changed it again. Fluid looks burgundy so still good but nearing bad. I always change it before it looks like oil.. All i did was drain it from the pan refilled it, and drove it for 32,000 miles and now changed it again... So I'd say change 30-35k to be on the safe side

[@sharlenegervaise6614]

I’m watching it 😊

[@Hellahighlife]

How do you check the level?

[@spritemoney]

The dipstick, one side is for hot and the other side is for cold

[@DrWenChannel]

can you use a oil extractor to do the ATF change?

[@tennesseerepairguy2162]

I don’t see why not, but I was following the owners manual per Honda

[@charlie.pocono9199]

Is it the same on a 2016 crv?

¾ inch drive ratchet ??? 😳😳 "⅜"

Thanks for enjoying the video. Sorry I misspoke about the size.

[@rodolfocanas164]

Don't worry. Excellent video !!!! 👍👍👍

[@jp-wo6cq]

There are actually 3/4 drive and 1 inch drive ratchets and tools for big trucks and what not

[@Fremen02]

My 2012 crv has 60k miles and I never changed the atf fluid before. I do my own oil changes. This looks as easy. But what size socket did you use ? Or was it the kind that fits inside ? I forgot what it's called but it's like a male version of a socket.

[@tennesseerepairguy2162]

If I remember right it’s just the 3/8” ratchet that fits in it

[@42stackz]

Did you change the filter aswell?

[@tennesseerepairguy2162]

I did not. Just the fluid.

[@starkeymorgan4142]

This filter is a bit of a pain in the .... There is a video of a guy doing it and it is doable.,just have to disconnect a few things. He was able to do it from the top, it's behind and below the air filter. I think there is also one in the transmission itself...so that's a no go for me.

[@thorsal2758]

@@starkeymorgan4142 why are you contemplating replacing said filters?

[@starkeymorgan4142]

@@thorsal2758 Even though many car manufacturers say it's not necessary, I like to change filters wherever I can. Same reason I would change an oil filter, fuel filter, etc. I probably wouldn't mess with this one unless I felt I was troubleshooting performance issues. Likely just drain and fill. I am at 118,000 and plan on doing that @ 150,000 miles, which will be a 50,000 mile drain and fill. If it's shifting normally, that's all I will do.

[@Ulfhednar-o9t]

Thank you!!

[@JnBRoyal]

If you're towing this vehicle behind another vehicle, Honda recommends changing the transmission fluid every two years or 30,000 miles.

[@sharlenegervaise6614]

Got it

[@paulmanini9614]

Don’t bother attempting to change the filter it’s not really necessary.

[@Ali-7676]

was this sarcasm or is it really not necessary?

[@mollynash2597]

@@Ali-7676 On the CRV forum, from what most people say, the Honda mechanics have never heard of a filter. Apparently the filter is not something that is ever changed, but I wouldn't think it would hurt if you did.

[@Powerstroke98]

I'd assume if changed often enough, a filter wouldn't be necessary, as the tolerances on these cars is so close, there wouldn't be much in the way of metal particles such as on your average Chevy, Ford or Mopar engines/transmissions.
